According to Michael Yon, as reported on Little Green Footballs, the war in Iraq is over, and we won. This is the essence of Michael Yon's report--
"There's nothing going on. I'm with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I'm with haven't fired their weapons on this tour and they've been here eight months. And the place we're at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq. And now there's nothing going on. I've been walking my feet off and haven't seen anything. I've been asking Iraqis, 'do you think the violence will kick up again,' but even the Iraqi journalists are sounding optimistic now and they're usually dour."
Thank you to all the men and women and their families who sacrificed and made this possible. Thank you to George Bush who stood his ground against the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed (who said the war was lost), and Barack Obama who fought him every step of the way. And thanks to General David Howell Petraeus who literally wrote the book on how to handle an insurgency.
